Wisconsin heads into its road match-up against Penn State this weekend with an injured starting quarterback and the potential that its second-year back-up will receive his second career start.
Alex Hornibrook remained questionable on Thursday’s updated injury report with a head injury that kept him out of the second half in last week’s win over Rutgers. True sophomore quarterback Jack Coan stepped up in the final two quarters and looked a smidge more comfortable than a game prior against Northwestern.
There are obvious differences between the two quarterbacks. Hornibrook is a redshirt junior southpaw that has started 31 career games.
